This antique sewing machine by Wilcox & Gibbs Western Electric is a rare find for collectors. With its exotic case and foot pedal, it's sure to be a conversation starter. The machine dates back to the early 1900s , I'm told 1917, and is an original piece, making it a valuable addition to any antique collection. The brand is well-known for producing high-quality sewing machines, and this one is no exception. It's perfect for those who appreciate the history of sewing and want to own a piece of it.  Runs strong.  I have not sewn with it.
